The post you are reporting:
We all understand the police are stretched,
but having had experience of how things are today gives me cause for concern.
We made it clear there was a prowler(or maybe innocent) person going around the Westbury area having got him on CCTV we contacted the Police with times/pictures in the hope the police could just stop him to find out his motives, and put a lot of peoples minds at rest in the area.
This guy was going around many nights between 0230-0400 looking in peoples windows, and looking very suspect.
What Reply i got was, to say the least strange.
Being part of an active community assoc i hoped we could work together to do this , instead i got 2 pcso's call at my house, one quite threatening asking me if i would remove the article stating we hope for more action by the police.
Even my wife who doesnt usually take much notice, when they left, said he was rather aggressive.
Of course I wasn't going to remove the article, as I believe we should be critical when things don't go well.
Thankfully since our facebook page highlighted this chap he hasn't been seen so hopefully we have resolved our own problem.
What is most worrying for me is, if this chap was to rob someone,or worse rape someone it would have all been to late.
Being told the police are overstretched and would always be busy between 0230-0400 didn't really wash. locals wanted to start up there own gang to sort the person out, we kept them at bay, in the hope of a police result. I'm not sure this will continue more long term in the guy returns
oh well
